Suwari Waza – Sankyō Ura – Morihei Ueshiba Sen Sen no Sen Variation

Uke and Tori face each other, seated in seiza. Tori delivers an atemi to Uke’s face, and as Uke raises his arm to defend, Tori makes contact with the wrist using both hands. He then executes a Tenkan pivot of slightly less than 180°, nearly finishing side-by-side with Uke, and establishes a two-handed grip: the lead hand controls the blade of the hand while the rear hand secures the fingers. Continuing the rotation, Tori cuts down with Uke’s hand at a 45° angle to the outside, driving Uke to fall belly down and contact the mat first with his shoulder. To pin, Tori places his knee on Uke’s triceps while keeping Uke’s hand elevated, maintaining the wristlock and shoulder control.
